Best Practices

Follow these 4 steps to get the most from every prompt:

1

Be specific: "Join customers and orders on customer_id" is better than "Join some tables"

2

Provide names: Refer to pipelines, tables, or components by name when possible

3

Break up complex tasks: Use multiple prompts for multi-step processes

4

Reference selections: Selecting components before prompting helps Maia understand context
